A Time Piece for Father Time...

He's busy carving another notch on his ancient scythe,As our tired old year washes back into eternity.Whew!We do a countdown with our own timepieces,And this bright and hopeful NewYear washes ashoreAnd laps at our feet,Ready for our perusal.

Daylight Savings Time will be back soonSomehow, that promises us more time…In some time zones, anyway.In the meantime…Let’s indulge in some personalDaylight Wasting Time:

I never seem to have enough time.After all,Time is money.AndTime keeps on slippin’ a-way-ay-ee.

What time is it anyway?Is it lunch time yet?How do Time Lords tell time in that blue phone box?Tardis.The White Rabbit is tardy.Always.The mail's a little late today, too.

Life moved more slowly in Olden Times.We all know that.We still have The London TimesAnd Times Square.I’m just marking time now with this job.Romeo was making time with Juliet.Time is fleeting.Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrowcreeps in this petty pace…

When the big hand is on the sevenAnd the little hand is on the sixIt’s time for the baby’s bedtime story.In my time it wasHowdy Doody time!Sh, sh, now…It’s time for you to go to sleep.

This is my favourite time of the year.Time and time again.Time marches on.Soldiers sometimes march in Quick Time.Do they call their other marchingRegular Time?

There’s no time like the present.It’s about time!So many chocolates, so little time.Spending time nowRemembering across Time…To bring focus to today:If you had a Time machine,Where in Time would you visit?Oh, and...When was your First Time?

Time-saving devices.Time’s a wasting.It’s closing time.Once upon a time…Not this time.Pastime.Not thyme.Time to go.Time flies when you’re having fun.E=mc2It’s all relative.

Today I use yesterday to create tomorrow.Each year I do more thingsFor the first time andFewer things for the last time.

Pay attention this time…Take timeTo notice slow time.And fast time.And how you can decide whichKind of time to live each part of each day.See?

Time embeds the memoriesThat create your ownTimeless identity.Without Time we are not.Time is our most valuableNon-renewable resource.We gotta use it or lose it.Enjoy it.Share it.
